Book banning and censorship is about power and control. It's about limiting access and limiting knowledge. It’s a well-coordinated and well-funded campaign that is ruthless, relentless, and cruel. It’s an orchestrated and insidious campaign to erase identities, to erase kids.

Does anyone in Albany NY area know anything about creation of Wallenberg Park or addition of plaques honoring 2 other men who also saved hundreds of Jews from the Holocaust?

Project 2025. This is from Page 5 of the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership. This is a sample of how they view transgender humans. This is what they intend to do to educators and public librarians.

Today is National High Five Day. Yep, that’s really a thing. It’s the perfect day to support a local independent bookseller by purchasing the #LGBTQ-themed middle grade novel A HIGH FIVE FOR GLENN BURKE and the nonfiction picture book, GLENN BURKE, GAME CHANGER.

I’m told that, in response to my prior tweet, @EliseStefanik deleted her 1/6/21 statement — that those who stormed the Capitol “must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Here is Elise’s statement again. Feel free to share. #nomorecrackpots

"A country throughout history, we find, goes through ebbs & flows of idealism. Time after time the country needs an infusion of new spirit, an infusion of youth." - Pres. Nixon, 1971 Certification of #26thAmendment #YouthVote Listen closely to find our nation's moral compass⤵️
Watch this- The shooting on UNC chapel hill was the third for Amie Boakye, a sophomore from Kentucky. No one should have to live with the aftermath of a single shooting let alone three.

The Burdett Birth Center has provided critical childbirth and maternity care services for years, and its proposed closure is deeply concerning. We want to hear directly from New Yorkers on the best path to move forward so they have the care they need.  timesunion.com/health/articl…

As many of you know, Montpelier, Vermont flooded a week ago today. Among the swamped? The wonderful bookstore, ⁦@BearPondBooks. Bookselling is a labor of love with thin margins. Here are a few ways you can help this treasure. ⁦ mailchi.mp/bearpondbooks/pon…

Hey @Marriott, It’s disgusting that you’re going to allow a Moms For Liberty summit to be hosted this weekend at your venue space in Philadelphia knowing they’re an extremist hate group who quoted Hitler and will have an Oath Keepers terrorist as a guest speaker. Shame on you.

Library spelled with a “y” is a place with books, Librarie spelled with an “ie” is probably a wine bar in Troy
Zach spelled with an "h" is a scholar, Zack spelled with a "k" is a menace to society

For #PrideMonth we’ll be exploring people in the Schuylers’ circle who were LGBTQ+. The first person we’re meeting is Chevalière d’Éon, who was a transwoman, born in France in 1728, and who was in Angelica Schuyler Church’s social circle.
